3 ways to overcome the “too much to do” inertia

Every single client that I work with has a lot going on. I have a lot going on. You likely have a lot going on too – we are a society that values the busy – maybe even to a fault.

The thing that I noticed about the start of my week this week was I had too much to do inertia. The list: it was long. The location to start: completely unknown. The desire to start anything was swept up in what I can only call Cinco De Seis. So there are a few things that I did that actually worked. I’m going to share those with you.

I eliminated some stuff. I just flat out crossed it off the list. Last week at some point I read this post from Amanda Genther where she spelled it out really really clearly: it’s not a now thing. Hold on to that moment you’re having for a second – think about something that you have on your list that simply does not need to be a NOW thing. Cross it off. If it comes up again it might be a NOW thing then. Right now: It’s about letting it go.

I pulled out three things to do in the am and three things to do in the pm. If I got six things done that was going to be a HUGE win. I put the rest of the list away and let myself WIN. Yes. DO THAT: LET YOURSELF WIN!!!!!

what we do

We help our clients navigate the confusing journey from "what should I be doing - where should my focus be?" to a solid & defined strategy with amazing measurable (that's key) results.

our approach

Objectives and results matter most. We’re not going to force all of our clients into some predetermined process or standardized product just because “that’s the way we work.” We deliver a final result and design our solutions custom for each client.

Your needs are going to be met, your expectations are going to be surpassed and you're not going to have a lot of extra things to pay for that you don't need.

Bottom line: we are committed to as many high-fives as possible.

our work

We work with small businesses and solo entrepreneurs. We work with companies/brands/people that we GENUINELY like, that are doing things we care about.

Our clients become friends because we share some core values: You want your work to matter. You want some balance in this life and you really like that we keep that in mind when deciding how much you can bite off at any point. Your time is valuable and respected.
